5 Appalachian State University Academic Integrity Code PURPOSE AND GOALS Appalachian State University is an academic community dedicated to teaching, scholarship, service, inclusion, and the holistic development of students. Academic integrity is a cornerstone value of the University s intellectual community. As a community of learners, we must create an atmosphere of honesty, fairness, trust, respect, and responsibility. Integrity is essential because it ensures that students fairly benefit from their educational experience and pursuits of knowledge. Violating the principles of academic integrity damages the reputation of the University and undermines its educational mission and goals. The University recognizes that academic dishonesty detracts from the value of an ASU degree and has influence beyond campus, such as graduate school, employment, and relationships with colleagues. Appalachian actively seeks to create a campus environment of ethical collaboration. The Academic Integrity Code is the result of cooperation among Appalachian s faculty, students, and administrators, and promotes a collaborative campus dialogue about academic integrity. The goals of the proceedings under the Academic Integrity Code: a. support and promote an ethical learning environment; b. create consistent standards for all members of the academic community; c. assist students in learning responsibility for one s own academic work; d. protect the academic environment of the University community; and e. clarify student values and how they relate to the behavior in question.

Written communication shall be considered delivered on the date ed, hand-delivered, or three (3) days after the communication is mailed Reporting Allegations a. Complaints of academic misconduct against a student should be reported to the appropriate faculty member or the Office of Student Conduct. The complaint should be submitted as promptly as feasible after the occurrence. A delay in reporting may be reasonable under some circumstances, as determined on a case-by-case basis. An unreasonable delay in reporting, however, is an appropriate consideration in evaluating the merits of a complaint. b. The faculty member will, in their professional judgment on the basis of the provided information and in consultation with the Office of Student Conduct, determine (a) if an alleged violation shall be pursued or dismissed and (b) the most appropriate means for addressing the alleged violation (e.g., informal resolution, formal resolution). This determination should be made within five (5) days after meeting with the student; however, a reasonable extension of this time limit is permissible Standard of Proof The faculty member and the Academic Integrity Board must establish that the student is responsible for the alleged violation(s) by a preponderance of the evidence (i.e., that it is more likely than not that the student violated this Code). This determination must be based solely on the information presented, which may include, but is not limited to, pertinent records (e.g., assignment, syllabi), exhibits (e.g., photographs, audio/video information, social media information), and written/oral statements. Formal rules of evidence and procedure do not apply Presence of Support Individuals and Advisors a. At any point, the student and the faculty member have the right to be accompanied by up to two support individuals. These individuals are present to provide emotional support.

At any point, the student and the faculty member have the right to be accompanied by an Advisor. The Advisor is a non-attorney advisor who may represent a student or faculty member, at any point in the proceedings. The Advisor may fully participate only to the extent and in the same manner afforded to the student(s) or faculty member(s) they represent, provided that the Advisor 6

11 may not provide testimony.

Pending the resolution of an alleged violation(s), the student should continue to participate in the course and complete any academic work. b. The faculty member is encouraged to assign a grade of Incomplete ( I ) if an alleged violation(s) has not been resolved and a grade is due for the course. Once the alleged violation(s) has been resolved, a grade may be assigned. c. A student is prohibited from withdrawing from a course in which an alleged violation(s) is pending. Should a student withdraw from the course prior to the alleged violation(s) being resolved, the grade of W will be considered temporary. If a student is found responsible for a violation(s), the course cannot be retroactively dropped. d. A student whose course grade is impacted due to being found responsible for a violation(s) cannot replace the assigned grade through the University s Repeat Policy Informal Resolution a. After consulting with the Office of Student Conduct, the faculty member may offer an informal resolution. An informal resolution cannot be offered to a student who has previously been found responsible for a violation of this Code. b. Before an informal resolution can be offered, the faculty member shall meet with the student to discuss the allegation(s) and to provide the student an opportunity to present relevant information related to the alleged violation(s). c. The faculty member or student may request mediation through the Office of Student Conduct, who shall serve as a neutral third party.

During an informal resolution, the faculty member will, in their professional judgment on the basis of the provided information or in consultation with appropriate University officials (e.g., Office of Student Conduct, department Chair), propose findings regarding any alleged violation(s) and may specify any sanction(s) described in Section 7.01 this Code. 1. If the student accepts the informal resolution, they waive their right to a formal resolution and accepts responsibility for the violation(s) and the sanction(s) imposed. 2. If the student declines the informal resolution, the case will be referred to the Board for formal resolution. 3. The student may be given up to three (3) days to review the informal resolution and decide if they would like to accept or decline the proposed findings and sanctions. The student is encouraged to seek the guidance of an advisor, trusted faculty member, family member, etc. e. The original signed resolution must be submitted to the Office of Student Conduct within five (5) days of the student s decision. f. An informal resolution may not be appealed Formal Resolution a. Unless an informal resolution is accepted, the faculty member shall refer the case to a Board for formal resolution.

Postponements will generally be granted only in cases of serious student/faculty illness, family emergency, or when a student has a scheduled exam that directly conflicts with the scheduled time. g. The Board shall consist of five (5) members and the Chair. If members of the Academic Integrity Board are not available to serve in a hearing, previous members of the Academic Integrity Board or current members of the Student Conduct Board or University Conduct Board, defined by the Code of Student Conduct, may be utilized. h. The Chair is delegated the authority to conduct hearings in a manner designed to effectively and efficiently elicit information needed for the Board to make its decisions. This includes the authority to review the admissibility of any information, to question witnesses, to limit the length of testimony of any participant if the testimony appears to be repetitious or irrelevant, and to remove any participant who is unruly or disruptive. The Chair is charged with the responsibility to conduct the hearing in a manner that will: 1. ensure a fundamentally fair process; 2. protect the rights of the student and the faculty member; and 3. ensure that participants are treated with respect. i. Prior to considering the charges, the Chair shall address: 1. the procedures that the Board will follow; 2. the hearing being closed to the public; 3. the importance of confidentiality of the proceedings; 4. the University s commitment to the principle of fundamental fairness; 5. the presumption that the student is not responsible for a violation of this Code until determined otherwise; and 6. whether any Board member wishes to recuse themselves due to a conflict with, bias about, or interest in the case. j. All hearings will be recorded, and the recordings will serve as the verbatim record. The University retains the sole right to record hearings. No other recordings may be made of the hearings. k. All hearings are closed to the public. The student and the faculty member have the right to appear with an advisor in addition to support individuals as described in Section 6.04 of this Code. The 8

13 student and the faculty member may confer with the advisor.

The student and the faculty member may request that a member of the Board be excluded from the hearing. This request must be made immediately after the introduction of the Board and requires justification. Additionally, a Board member may recuse themselves if they believe there is a conflict with, bias about, or interest in the case. The Chair shall make the final decision whether to exclude any Board member; this decision cannot be appealed. m. The Board, student, and faculty member may ask reasonable questions of any witnesses appearing at the hearing, through the Chair. This is not intended to preclude the introduction of written statements, previously written memoranda, letters, or other written material. When practical, the opportunity for questioning should be afforded; however, other information may be introduced at a hearing even though the author is not present for questioning. Members of the Board shall attach whatever weight or significance to these documents or statements they deem appropriate. n. To determine findings for any alleged violation(s), a vote by the Board will be taken in a closed executive session and will be based solely on the information presented during the hearing. The Board shall base its determination on information that it finds to be reliable, including any assessment of the credibility of information. A vote of responsible by a simple majority of the members present, excluding the Chair, shall be required to find the student responsible for any violation(s). o. Information regarding any prior academic misconduct may not be introduced or considered in deliberations regarding findings of responsibility. p. If the student is found responsible, any information related to the student s character, including prior academic misconduct, may be introduced and considered by the Board in determining a sanction. The faculty member may offer any recommended sanction(s). This recommendation is not binding on the Board, but will be given such weight as the Board deems appropriate. q. Decisions of the Board are final, unless the Board recommends Expulsion. In cases involving Expulsion, the recommendation will be forwarded as a recommendation to the Provost, who shall make the final administrative decision. r. A final decision must be made within ten (10) days of the date of the hearing. Notice of the decision must be delivered in writing to the student and the faculty member within five (5) days of the decision.

In extenuating circumstances the timeline for response may be extended and can be determined on a case-by-case basis. b. Formal Resolution If the student fails to attend their scheduled hearing, the Board shall adjudicate the case in their absence. c.
